When a Felon's Not Engaged in His Employment
accompaniment track from The Pirates of Penzance
“When a Felon’s Not Engaged in His Employment” is the iconic comic chorus for the police in The Pirates of Penzance, affectionately known as The Policemen’s Song. Celebrated for its dry humor, mock solemnity, and gentle parody of operatic seriousness, the number perfectly encapsulates Gilbert & Sullivan’s satirical wit. This professionally produced accompaniment track features clear cueing, steady tempos, and well-balanced orchestration to support ensemble blend and precise comedic timing. Ideal for rehearsals, staging, auditions, and full productions, it provides a polished, reliable foundation for one of operetta’s most beloved chorus numbers.
